It's with a mixture of joy and sadness that I look forward and see only 2 1/2 weeks of lecture phase left. We finish on March 30th and jump into the second phase of the DTS. It will be quite a change in temperature for sure, but the biggest thing will be leaving this amazing group of people I've been getting to know for the past three months. The entire group is splitting up into three groups each going to a different location for two months.

It will be quite the adventure to jump in and serve in a new culture and context, and I'm excited to serve with an amazing group of people. As one speaker shared, one act of love can change someone’s life forever. We have no idea of how we affect or change a human life when we are the embodiment of love in a moment. That's our goal for this next season, loving with all that we have to show God's love for all people.
